Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the reopening of the Suez Canal, which was a significant event in Egypt's history.

The coin's design features an image of the canal and the dates of its reopening, making it a unique and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
